Elevory (ID: 0000002be14ddadd) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/14/2023 Tried a bunch of extensions with the same idea, this one is probably the best. However, it still isn't perfect: - It forcibly creates an "Other" group for domains with only one tab. I cannot rename or delete this group. - There is no way to override the auto-grouping with custom rules for specific domains.

Anthony Brooks (ID: 0000004884b16134) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/01/2023 I'm in agreement with Albert's review. For just automatically grouping, it's fine. If you don't want to set up custom tab groups for things that you're just visiting (across multiple sites), it would be nice if the plugin would allow you to move things into those groups rather than automatically moving them back to "Other" or their own named tab group. It would also be nice to be able to rename the groups without making custom tab groups and adding the URLs since sometimes they can get pretty lengthy by just copying the site name.

Albert Garcia (ID: 00000092bb3fdcb3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/14/2023 If you don't care how your tabs get groups, then this will do the job well. However, I don't want all my tabs from one website to be in the same group, i.e. maybe 5 google tabs and 2 youtube videos are related to one search and 4 google tabs and 3 wikipedia pages are related to another search, and I would like those two groups to remain separate. This extension give you the option to create your own tab groups and drag tabs into the group. However, those tabs get automatically deleted after a few seconds. If you turn off all the automatic grouping features, you still end up with your manually made groups deleting themselves, so this extension ends up being useless if you want to manually group a set of tabs.
